Ok just picked up the ultra edition and wow this game is complicated, more so than civilization really. I love it but wow. General questions.

1. Is there anywhere else people who play the game usualy post? I really don't like the forum structure here...

2. I have found the tech and project trees very helpful along with the fag that gives the actual info about what the projects actually do anything else I should download and read to get a good idea of how the game works...manual is a little thin

3. The version I got came with the expansion..and two campagins. Should I play the campagins first to learn the game or should I do things differently? I started playing the campagins and I didn't start out correctly researching ship technology first really didn't help much since you have to use population to invade planets.

4. Are there some fan made campagins that tech the game well?

5. The economy system still confuses me...so if I build a factory or a research social project it increases the percentage I build ok, but some of that I have to pay for while some I don't...this confuses me. The whole idea of having capacity that I either use or don't use based on the amount of money I invest (while being incredibly realistic much more so than civ) is difficult to understand.

To Stardock (I know they will never see this but still)
1. Please work on your manuals! I really shouldn't have had to use player made stuff to get a tech tree and a view of what the various projects do. I understand and appreciate the RPG aspects of your game but this goes a bit to far in my opionon. I really can't plan a strategy without this information.

2. The sort by part of your forum doesn't seem to work really it doesn't allow me to sorty by anything. As well the board should be improved significantly.

3. Really great game before this the only thing I had bought from you was political machine, good to see that was not a fluke and everything you make is equally good keep it up!

Go to game, not campaign. Check tutorial button. Set difficulty on cakewalk. Make least number of civs possible. Make them opposite ethnics. Help?

Yes I went to the game and put it on normal and had all the civs with normal difficulty did reasonably well until game crashed on the laptop I was using. Sigh. Understand most of it now except the economics that is still difficult to figure out.

Glad that you could figure it out.
